No ballroom for trump, give him some thoughts and prayers and a bulletproof backpack. That's what schoolchildren get.

When children are shot in their classrooms, all politicians can offer are thoughts and prayers. When a shooting happens near them, they demand a $350 million golden ballroom to protect themselves.
Don't normalize a system that protects power more than it protects children.

The Trump Administration has all the trappings of a bad WWF storyline—unpredictable, flawed characters, personal stakes, slow burns, blurred reality/kayfabe, compelling villains, nonstop surprises, cultural relevance, and just enough chaos + structure to keep its base hooked.

Am I understanding this correctly? The President, the Vice-President, the Speaker of the House AND the Secretary of Stare were all at the White House Correspondent's Dinner together and security was so laxed that a guy ran through security with a long gun? I call bullshit.

If you were horrified watching elected leaders run & scramble because of gun violence, just imagine how my daughter Jaime felt in school running from an active shooter before she was killed. Now, become a part of the solution & only vote for people determined to address gun violence in America.

Let’s also include that security was more lax than it’s ever been (no QR code on tickets, less metal detectors, etc), no one actually “saw” anything, and the mass (nearly identical) tweets by maga influencers. 🙄

Wouldn’t it be poetic if Congress shut down the same day as the General Strike (tomorrow, Jan 30)? The government stops functioning on the same day millions strike over the ICE/CBP killings of Pretti and Good. Honestly? Perfect symbolism. A unified day of “f*ck you.” 🙃✊

Stephen Miller was never elected by the U.S. but he sure has a lot of influence when it comes to DJT. If you’ve followed the podcast “Burn Order” by @maddow.bsky.social, it is clear Trump is playing Lieutenant General DeWitt and Miller is playing Bendetsen in this terrible reenactment of hate.

We the People must DEMAND CONGRESS to rescind and repeal the $75B allotted to ICE in the “Big Beautiful Bill.” Seventy. Five. BILLION. Dollars. Let this sink in: $75 billion in $50 bills stacked would reach 102 miles high! That’s orbital altitudes (aka high enough to touch a spacecraft)!

What pisses me off is that we STILL need to remind people that Alex wasn’t even “fighting” or “protesting.” He was observing and filming ICE/Border Patrol. This is ALLOWED under the 1st Amendment. You know what isn’t? Murdering U.S. citizens that have been unarmed and restrained.

MAGA’s suddenly calling to repeal parts of 2A. Trump wants nationwide ban on legal concealed carry. Watching them turn is wild. Folks used to joke the GOP would ditch the 2A if Black Americans armed up—but it didn’t even take that. Just one VA nurse, legally holstered. They lost their minds.

Yes, the GOP controls Congress. That's why it's key to show Congress COULD stop the madness. And it's not just the DHS bill. Congress could repeal the prior multi-year $75b for DHS; set up a special investigative committee (cf. Watergate); amend the Insurrection Act; etc.

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.
1. I am a resident of the Whittier neighborhood of Minneapolis, Minnesota. I am over 18 years of age. I am a children's entertainer who specializes in face painting.
2. On Saturday, January 24, 2026, at about 8:50 am, I was getting ready to go to work when I heard whistles outside. I knew the whistles meant that ICE agents were in the area, so I decided to check it out on my way to work. I've been involved in observing in my community because it is so important to document what ICE is doing to my neighbors. Connecting to your local community and knowing who your neighbors are is something I profoundly value.
3. I drove to Nicollet Ave. and 26th where I could hear the whistles coming from. I turned south onto Nicollet. There were already several ICE agents there and they'd set up a sort of vehicle convoy on Nicollet and 28th. There were also about 15 observers there, recording and observing ICE.
4. I saw ICE agents surrounding cars and punching car windows. I also saw them stopping vehicles further down Nicollet, so I backed up because I didn't feel safe continuing on.
5. I noticed a man sort of acting to help traffic move more smoothly. He helped me find a place to park. I got out with my whistle and my camera. I went over to him and said something like, "I'm going to film and use my whistle."
6. It seemed like most ICE activity was happening a little farther down the street from us, near 27th. Someone was being thrown to the ground.7. I started recording. There was an agent by a car across the street. Two observers were a few feet away from the agent, blowing their whistles. One was wearing a backpack.
8. I and the man who was observing and helping direct traffic were standing in the street. There was a phone in the man's hand recording a video.
9. An agent approached and asked us to back up, so I moved slowly back onto the sidewalk.
10. The man stayed in the street, filming as the other observers I mentioned earlier were being forced backward by another ICE agent threatening them with pepper spray. The man went closer to support them as they got threatened, just with his camera out. I didn't see him reach for or hold a gun.
11. Then the ICE agent shoved one of the other observers to the ground. Then he started pepper spraying all three of them directly in the face and all over. The man with the phone put his hands above his head and the agent sprayed him again and pushed him.
12. Then the man tried to help up the woman the ICE agent had shoved to the ground. The ICE agents just kept spraying. More agents came over and grabbed the man who was still trying to help the woman get up. All three of the observers looked to have been badly affected by the pepper spray. I could feel the pepper spray in my eyes.13. The agents pulled the man on the ground. I didn't see him touch any of them-he wasn't even turned toward them. It didn't look like he was trying to resist, just trying to help the woman up. I didn't see him with a gun. They threw him to the ground. Four or five agents had him on the ground and they just started shooting him. They shot him so many times.
14.1 don't know why they shot him. He was only helping. I was five feet from him and they just shot him.
15. The video I recorded of what happened accurately depicts the events leading up to the agents shooting him and several minutes afterwards. The video is attached as Exhibit 1.
16. I have read the statement from DHS about what happened and it is wrong. The man did not approach the agents with a gun. He approached them with a camera. He was just trying to help a woman get up and they took him to the ground.
17. I feel afraid. Only hours have passed since they shot a man right in front me and I don't feel like I can go home because I heard agents were looking for me. I don't know what the agents will do when they find me. I do know that they're not telling the truth about what happened. I've heard that other witnesses might have been arrested and taken to the Whipple Building.
18. I am disgusted and gutted at how they are treating my neighbors and my state. I keep alternating between crying and feeling determined it is important to remember the value of documenting injustice. We show up for the people who need us to bearwitness, because it can't just be one group of people bearing the brunt of their tyranny. This is a struggle to protect our freedom and democracy, those things are on the line. He lost his life for those values.
I declare under penalty of perjury that everything I have stated in this document is true and correct.
